ABOUT

Absurd.website is an initiative focused on creating and showcasing absurd products and projects. Blurring the boundaries between art, business, and digital experimentation, Absurd.website embraces the playful and thought-provoking potential of absurdity in contemporary art. Established in 2020, it operates at the intersection of net art, web art, and startup culture, presenting one unique project each month.

Artistic Philosophy
Absurd.website began as the vision of an individual artist, embodying the concept of “artist as a company.” While initially a solo initiative, it is designed to evolve into a collective, bringing together like-minded creators to expand the scope and impact of absurdity as art. This adaptable structure reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of startups while remaining firmly rooted in the playfulness and experimentation of contemporary art. Absurd.website views absurdity not as a lack of meaning but as a creative lens through which the mundane, the nonsensical, and the experimental can be reimagined. This initiative uses humor, irony, and unconventional methods to challenge perceptions of functionality, utility, and value. Each project is an artistic commentary, often parodying modern startup culture, consumerism, or digital innovation, while remaining firmly rooted in the ethos of fun and experimentation.
